yet another htaccess problem

[TECHIE123]

recently upgraded from redhat 6.2 to 7.2 with that I upped my apache from 1.3.20 to 1.3.24 well everything went smooth and before I knew it I was up and running but I reallized something none of my htaccess files worked well I found that Allowoverride was set to None so i set it to All and now. I get a password box but no matter what I type in it wont accept it.

here is my .htaccess file

AuthUserFile /home/httpd/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthType Basic

<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</limit>


and i have even tried recreating the .htpasswd file with
htpasswd -c /home/httpd/.htpasswd user

I am stumped anyone have any Ideas

Hi mate,

Firstly, you do not have to set the AllowOverride to All. AuthConfig is good enough.. That won't solve the problem though.

Secondly, what do your error logs say?

Hope this helps Wullie
